ctnewbie Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 My best friend an I (both male / NOT gay) are heading to NYCin a few weeks. We both have been looking into clubs online,but many of the postings are mixed with opinions (of which many could have come from club promoters). What I am looking for is someone who has been to several of the clubs in NYCto help me narrow down the choices. We both like dance and alternative music, but we tend to shy away from the grunge croud. I would like a safe environment to have fun without the fear of fights or getting poked with a needle. A large, mature, energetic croud wouldbe optimal. ( we both are around 27 years old )We will be staying in Manhattan, so we should have several options. Any ideas are appreciated!Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highmay Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 aight chris...you want a large energetic crowd w/o the fear of fights and that other bullshit...well more established clubs have a good rep when it comes to the friendliness of crowds...so dont worry about the following suggestions:WED- the party is probably Lil Louie Vega @ Centro-Fly...great club, sexy atmosphere, everything NY (style, women, music)THURS- you have some choices...you either want to go back to Centro-Fly for the their best party, Subliminal Sessions, with some of the best music you'll ever hear, or if you want to see women so amazing you wonder if their is a factory near-by, i suggest SACI...but make sure you come correct...bring a female, or if you dont have one...come early with your boy....FRI-you want a party? Vinyl, nuff said...but the ROXY party is definitly picking up steam....ROXY is huge though, a bigger dancefloor than EXIT's...SAT- uhhhhhmmmm theres 151, which is similar to the SACI party.....a good dance party??....hhmmm...this one i cant raelly say...i would usually go to Sound Factory because JP is my fav DJ...but thats afterhours....it wont get good till around 7am-11am....hope this helps....PEACE...oh and by the way....dont even think of entering EXIT....take my advice,please....

ctnewbie Posted August 18 Author Report Share Posted August 18 Highmay9Thanks for your suggestions. I will look into each one of them.I have seen a lot of postings on EXIT, but know very little about it, so I will take your advice.

bmw4jay Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 See....I think he would like EXIT...but wouldnt like Factory. EXIT has few fights, and sometimes DRaper is OK...C-FLy is hot though.Choose carefully..Its where you'll be born! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlet1 Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 Originally posted by ctnewbie We both like dance and alternative music, but we tend to shy away from the grunge croud. Chris Hi, Chris. What exactly do you mean by "alternative music"? Gothic, industrial, ebm, new wave, or something else? I see that people have given many "dance" suggestions, but no alternative ones.Bye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctnewbie Posted August 19 Author Report Share Posted August 19 Scarlet1, I like both industrial and goth (although I dont think I wouldfit in very well with the goth croud). Basically Im going to be in NYC for a weekend (Friday and Saturday night) and wantsome place safe yet exciting to go to. I can go many ways withthe music. I am not as avid about it as many of the music lovers on the board. Just something energetic will be fine. =)I know I might be excluding many of the clubs, but I am not intoANY drugs (other than my daily dose of caffeine), and I really could care less about pretending to be something Im not. I dress nice, but I dont intend to pay hundreds of dollars to sit in a 'VIP' lounge.Getting into a fight for bumping into someone is not my style, just hanging out and enjoying an energetic croud will be enough for me. Should I just go to a local bar? ha ha haChrisP.SI noticed that many people have viewed this posting. I welcome ANY and ALL (good or bad) input.

ctnewbie Posted August 19 Author Report Share Posted August 19 From what I have read, and the input given (by ONE person), I think it is narrowed down to 4 clubs. (not in any order)LIMELIGHTROXYSOUND FACTORYVINYLCan anyone give me an idea on which nights I shouldgo to which? I will be down on a Friday and Saturdaynight..Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuclubkidd Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 well u would have to go to VINYL on a friday night for danny T.as for limelight i would avoid it for now, i used to go there but it is not what it used to b.......factory is good on a saturday, but not until after hours......around 6am is when it gets jumpin.....so i would suggest that on saturday u check out one 51 or saci, both of which close at 4am and then hit up factory for the after hours session.....thats my view on your weekend...hope it helps ....peace!

Chrisbugg Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 i agree with everyone else for saturday night 151 is very hot. Never been to saci but i have heard it is also good. Sound factory is great but you have to be into that kind of music. Hard house and alot of bass. Nice bars to try out are Turtle bay and Sutton place on 2nd Ave. Kevin st. James on 8th ave between 46 and 47 st. i like Exit on fridays but everyone else is advising against it. they must know better i usually go to a bar than a club every friday and sat. i have tried exit and SF on both nights. fri is exit and Sf sat. get to exit by 12 or 1am don't bother with factory till after 4am at the earliest. sometimes i will wake up really early on sunday mourning and go to sound factory.

caution Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 Factory on Fridays is awesome. Saturdays are bangin too, but not until real late. If you want the club experience on Friday, go to Factory. I have never seen a fight there, and in general the people are a lot friendlier. You said you werent gay so you probably wouldnt like Exit. 75% of the crowd are juice heads with their shirts off, so if you like women dont go there. On Saturday I would recomend 151. I dont think anyone can say anything bad about that place on a Saturday. Hope you have a good time while you are here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgmodel Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 Saci, 151, Lotus, SoundFactory, Centro-Fly.(Theres always Webster Hall huge Tourist crowd.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impulse69 Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 I agree with 151, Factory, Saci, and Centro, but lets face it...Lotus is on the outs. If everyone knows about it, then that means all the A-listers have found a new place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
